BEHIND THE SCENES | Southern Illinois Wedding Photographer

One of the things I love most about my job is the people I get to work with...As many know I share a studio in downtown McLeansboro with an AMAZING newborn photographer! Miss Lisa Rapp (Little Chics Pics) is the baby whisperer & she was kind enough to come to a wedding and get a few shots of me and my second shooter. My second shooter is also my sister in law Tabitha! I am telling you I work with the best people! She is wonderful and helps out so so much during the weddings doing a lot of the busy work and running others would rather not do. She however does it with a smile on her face. She is a blessing.

In this business there are so many that try to compete and are hateful to one another where I have found that community over competition is best. I can honestly say some of my best friends are fellow photographers. We understand each other...& I know if I need something they will always be right there to try and help or lend whatever they can. There are plenty of weddings to go around and plenty of work for everyone. Some of my favorite moments are those when our studio is full of other photographers stopping in to chat & just hang out between sessions. Community over Competition.
